After leaving Teagan to rejoin her team Regan jogged to one of the police trucks parked behind the shield line. A small group of men and women were huddled over a map. "Sit rep guys." She demanded.

	"Corporal." One of the man acknowledged her with a swift salute, which she returned. "The Chief's deploying the PART team's to take on the smaller rats, so the Epics can concentrate on the Rat King." The man reported. "The civilians are all evacuated and the SAR officers have all withdrawn." He continued. "It's just the Epics and the Swarm rats in there." He finished.

	"Than it's high time we joined the fray." Regan stated with a steely glint to her grey eyes. The men and women around her agreed with excited shouts. They were all decked out in tactical battle gear and armed to the teeth. They all waited for Regan, who was wearing the lighter uniform of a search and rescue officer, to put on her PART gear and arm herself.

	"You know the drill, boys and girls!" Regan began. "We pair off, but move in a loose formation. We keep an eye on our partner and we all look out for the team. We coordinate with the other teams. The rats aren't the smartest, but we cannot allow them to swarm us. The snipers are already in position to provide cover fire from above. Are we clear?" The team snapped to attention. Regan nodded. "Move out!" The team made for the line of shields.

	Regan followed, but stopped when her cell phone vibrated in her pocket. She fished it out and unlocked the screen. A message there read:

	'[i]I've got your number now, Murphy, so don't [b]you[/b] do anything stupid! Teagan.[/i]'

	Regan smirked, her heart beating faster in her chest. She powered off her phone, pocketed it and rejoined her team.

	"We're ready to deploy." She announced and the heavy police shields parted allowing the small team to go through.

	"Alright, people, the PART teams are entering the zone to engage the small fries so the Epics can concentrate on the Rat King." Chief Thomas announced. "Stay sharp and let's get this thing done!"
